Autorenporträt

Seppo Mikkola is a senior lecturer at the University of Turku, Finland, and staff member at Tuorla Observatory. He has made important contributions to the regularization of equations of N-body motion. Since he invented 'algorithmic regularization' of few-body system dynamics, it has become the foundation of many simulations worldwide.
